Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6800 N 68
The Housing-Related Hazards and Lead-Based Paint Capital Fund Program is a HUD competitive grant opportunity designed to help public housing agencies identify and fix serious health and safety risks in public housing. The core goal is to evaluate residential hazards and then carry out mitigation work that reduces residents exposure to conditions that can cause long-term health problems or immediate safety threats. The hazards called out in the notice include lead-based paint, carbon monoxide, mold, radon, fire safety issues, and asbestos, which signals that HUD is looking both at chronic environmental exposures (like lead and radon) and life-safety risks (like CO and fire hazards). In practice, the funding is meant to support the full arc of hazard work: assessing what is present, prioritizing the highest-risk situations, completing corrective actions, and verifying that hazards have been properly addressed.
This NOFO combines two related programs under one umbrella title: the Housing-Related Hazards Capital Fund (HRHCF) and the Lead-Based Paint Capital Fund (LBPCF). Even though they are packaged together in a single announcement, applicants have to request funding separately for each program and follow each programs specific requirements when they apply. A public housing agency can apply to just one of the programs or to both, but if it applies to both, HUD will score and rank the two requests separately, using different rating factors for each program. That means an applicant could be funded under one program and not the other, could receive partial funding, or could be denied under both depending on the separate competitive outcomes and the amount of money available in each pot.
Funding for this round comes primarily from the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, which makes $65 million available for competitive grants to evaluate and reduce housing-related hazards in public housing. Importantly, HUD sets a floor within that $65 million: at least $25 million must be awarded specifically for lead-based paint hazard evaluation and reduction. The notice is clear about the types of lead-focused activities that qualify for that set-aside, including lead-based paint risk assessments, inspections, abatement, interim controls, and clearance examinations. If HUD does not receive enough eligible applications to award the full $25 million for lead work, the remaining dollars can be shifted to other qualified applications that address the broader set of housing-related hazards. On top of the 2024 funding, the opportunity also includes additional resources dedicated to lead-based paint work: $19.5 million in carryover funding from FY 2023 appropriations and about $3.3 million in recaptured funds from FY 2021 appropriations, both tied to lead-based paint. Taken together, that structure shows a strong emphasis on lead while still allowing PHAs to tackle other major environmental and safety issues that affect resident health.
Eligibility is limited to Public Housing Agencies (including Indian housing authorities) that have the legal authority to develop, own, modernize, and operate public housing under Section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g). PHAs participating in the Moving to Work (MTW) Demonstration Program are explicitly eligible as well. PHAs designated as troubled are not automatically excluded; they may apply and receive funding as long as they are in compliance with any existing Memorandum of Agreement or Recovery Agreement. The notice also spells out who cannot apply: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement, reinforcing that the program is intended for public-sector housing operators responsible for public housing portfolios.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under CFDA 14.888 (housing activity category). The opportunity number is FR 6800 N 68. HUD anticipated making around 40 awards, with an award ceiling of $7,500,000 per grant. The original application deadline listed for this round was July 1, 2024, and the posting dates indicate the opportunity was created on April 29, 2024. Overall, the program is structured to push measurable hazard reduction in public housing, with a clear competitive emphasis on lead-based paint evaluation and remediation while still supporting broader health and safety improvements where needs are documented and proposals score well.Apply for FR 6800 N 68
